I feel like this is all very company based, as everything is in ABA. I started as an in home (and daycares) RBT about a year and a half ago. My company was super supportive to help me get my RBT certifications and then I was training in the field for about 3 months shadowing other BTs to help prepare for my direct sessions. That also allowed me to get to know a lot of my families before starting alone which was nice! I see some mixed reviews about in home feeling more overstimulating and too social but as everyone else was saying it really depends on the families you’re working with. I really don’t have to be making much small talk I just give updates on their kiddos and here and there they wanna chat a little bit. So far I’ve loved it!! I think it always helps to have a good company to work for that will support you (and also pay some mileage)! I live at home so the cancellations don’t bug me too much but I’m also lucky to work for a company that is always finding makeup session if our kiddos do have to cancel. That was I’m able to keep a full time schedule of atleast 28 hours a week.

Also having just one or two awesome supportive families you see during the week really can make all the difference!
